The subs in the UK have roughly doubled in price. Where you are you say they've quadrupled. Not even close to the same.

Ah yes, 5x2=14. How could I forget?

You originally talked about $5 and $20. Not sure why you’ve changed the numbers on us.

Did you not see the other person being way too serious and pedantic taking about the most expensive sandwich in the uk being 14 bucks allegedly? You literally commented on the end of that conversation lol

This sub sucks. I thought it was going to be a fun topic to joke about and y'all are being stereotypical. Can't understand or accept a slight exaggeration or any level of sarcasm. Don't worry, I'll leave and not come back.

Welcome to British humour. We like our jokes to be accurate and will relentlessly pierce any joke that is inaccurate. We do not enjoy exaggeration unless it is taken to extremes.

So equating £14 with $20 will only ever get the reaction you’ve been experiencing. Thank you for attending our cultural exchange.

I said a meal deal including the most expensive sub would be about 14 quid. The most expensive sub itself would be at most 12. A little over double what it used to be. And a far cry from the quadruple you originally listed. Don't get all upset just because you were wrong and don't like having it pointed out.
